Feelings rush around my body provoking the thoughts in my head. The struggle to delineate right from wrong bares down on me like a heavy dark shadow carrying the weight of my misgivings. Am I a tool furthering destructive programming from big brother? Or a hapless dreamer looking for silverlinings in the dark ? From divided love and loyalties, I swing: a pedulum of frustration and anxiety one minute and stop  in apathy the next. Perception and point of views have too many depths to dive into. each one a murky abyss offering nothing but the promise of enduring mystery. I throw my hands up and still  get shot anyway I show the colour of my beliefs and im labelled a facist I fight for my freedom and am labelled a racist I respond to hatred with contempt and im held in contempt I fight a war that I never started and found myself left to my own devices The enemy laughs as it uses our enlightenment against us. Delusional, we think we're winning Propaganda machine doesn't sleep,   always on a 24 hour need to know basis. I stole love and I withheld it I cried poor and never meant it The vice in my hands told me to do it What happens now?
